Sunday 29th June 2014 Paris

We woke early and went for a walk to the markets with Isabella. It was very colourful and the variety of food available was great. After breakfast we headed in to Paris to do a walking tour that Isabel had shown us. We exited the train at Gare du Nord, one of the largest in Europe. There were people everywhere and long lines waiting to board the Eurostar bound for London.

We then set off to find the Canal St Martin passing Gare L'Est which had an exhibition of photos from the 1st world war as it was the point where most of the troups set off for the western front.

The Canal was beautiful and we were lucky enough to bump into a couple from Toronto who we swapped picture taking with.

We made our way to the Seine and took our picture in front of the Notre Dame.

It started to rain heavily so we made our way to the shopping area where massive summer sales were taking place. Catriona bought a pair of 7/8 pants and a shirt which was 50% off. 😄

When the rain eased we headed back to Antony and had a lovely dinner of duck that Olivier prepared along with a very sweet Argentinian desert. We tried to watch the Mexico v Netherlands game but ended up going to bed at half time at 10:45pm as it was just getting dark.
